'The Old Customs House', character cottage on Mudeford Quay

*** Sorry - We are unable to offer use of the wood burner ***
Inside The Old Customs House:

The Old Customs House occupies a unique position actually on Mudeford Quay, Christchurch. One of only seven cottages on the quay, it is a 2 bedroom 16th century Grade 2 listed cottage over two floors that has been totally modernised throughout and furnished to the highest standards.

It comfortably sleeps 4 with a luxury modern main bathroom with a walk in wet room shower. It has a washer dryer, microwave, fridge freezer, oven, hob and all the comforts of a 5* hotel with a large TV in the lounge, with DVD player, and TVs in both bedrooms. It is perfect for families or cosy for friends.

Mudeford Quay is a working quay leading on to the sandy Avon Beach and just across the run from Hengistbury Head, it is the perfect spot for those who love the water, beach or partake in the many watersports available in the harbour.

The Old Customs House has it's own safe picket post fenced patio area with outdoor seating and views over to Hengistbury Head.

Outside The Old Customs House:

A white picket post fence surrounds a patio that runs the length of the cottage. Why not eat alfresco and watch the sun set over the harbour?

The cottage has one parking permit allowing you to park right outside the property. If you have more than one vehicle then extra parking could not be easier with a large public car park within a very short walk of the cottage.

Christchurch:

Christchurch - the sign says 'Where Time is Pleasant' and it's right.

From the lively Monday Market to the great shops and restaurants along the highstreet it is a great coastal town. It is a short trip in the car or by the Ferry that leaves from Mudeford Quay.

Christchurch Priory is the longest parish church in the country and is surrounded by beautiful grounds, riverside walks and Christchurch Quay.

The Priory is a must see and is steeped in history. The Priory contains the 'miraculous beam' said to be placed there by a carpenter locals believed was Christ himself.

The Regent Centre is a unique place to see a movie - they still have someone who comes round selling ice creams and drinks!
